Cool views from the Apartment

One of my roommates took some cool pictures around our apartment complex and I just had to post a few of them.



Here, you can see the garden and a group of women doing Tai Chi in the morning.



The apartment building I'm living in is in a cluster of identical buildings.

In Shenzhen!

As you know, I've accepted a manufacturing consulting position in Shenzhen, and moved here at the beginning of this year. I hopped on an airplane on Dec 30th in San Diego and arrived in Shenzhen on Dec 31st just in time to ring in the New Year. What was awesome was that Chris (being the big baller frequent flyer he is) got my economy seat upgraded to business class from my 12 hr flight from SFO to HKG. I thought about taking pictures, but then I'd just look funny taking pictures. Instead, I just enjoyed it. I had a few drinks, watched 4 movies, and slept in their recliner/bed. It was great.




At the moment, I’m staying in an apartment with a few friends. Here are pictures of the place.



It’s on the 22nd floor, which gives me a pretty nice view of the city (until they finish construction on this building right next to us).



You’d be amazed how much stuff you can pack into 2 50lb boxes. I think I have most of what I want here.

Work is great - I’m working on some pretty cool projects. I really like the guys I’m working with and I’m learning a ton from them. There is a lot that I have to learn – lots of manufacturing processes, lots of everyday Chinese, and lots of manufacturing Chinese.

So that’s what happening with me now. I think realistically, I’ll maybe post something once or twice a month – since I’m lazy like that.
Hope all is well with you guys.
